Hi everyone how are you?

I`ve just got to tell you how stunned I was when I first learned about Paul`s methods, since some of it I`ve been doing myself from a very young age on, and it`s certainly worked for me!
I got rid of both allergy and fear of flying, by using a method of positive thinking that I`d come up with after reading a small article saying that just thinking positive could cure both cancer and obsessive compulsions. And it said that it could even change the chemestry of the brain, so got me really interrested.
With the house dust allergy I got so totally fed up with my eyes and nose running all the time, and being on the medication that made you so tired all the time, back then, that I decided to force my body to get rid of it. It sounds mad, yes I know, but I knew that for me it would work. We all know our ourselves don`t we?
So I gave it 6 months to work it out, and started "manipulating my mind" to belive that it would work, and never allowed it to doubt it even for a second.
It was hard work, and several times a day I had to tell myself over and over again that it would work.
At the same time instead of taking an allergy tablet a day, I took 6 in a week, then 5, and 4,3,2,1 and after 6 months I was down to no medication and the allergy was gone!
It was nearly too unbelievable to be true, but I forced myself to believe firmly that it was gone and that it would never come back again.

That`s more than 20 year since now, and I`ve been fine ever since. In the beginning I was telling people about it, but soon stopped, since no one seemed to believe me.
That`s one of the reasons I`m over the moon about reading about Paul`s methods since I know that it will work!
About the strong fear of flying I used to have about the same time as the allergy, I knew I had to work with it in the end, since I lived in Norway and used to go to UK to see my friends all the time. So I decided to go for "the positive self hypnosis" (as I called it) and I looked at the planes taking off and landing every day, telling myself that this happened all the time without them crashing, then forced myself to laugh at being silly enough to believe that it would happen to me.
Then I booked a ticket and got a window seat, telling myself that I could as well enjoy myself while I was up there, and that was it. Since then I`ve loved flying more than anything, and it`s no better way to relax these days.

Now I`m just about to go through what has been the worst challenge of them all for me though. After my claustrophobia and my fear of elevators (I`m nearly throwing up just from writing that word !!!), nearly got me killed two years ago, I know I can`t risk anything like that again, I just have to do it now.
It was when I was diagnosed with a heartattack and was taken to hospital in and ambulance, that I was told that I had to go directly to operating theatre on the first floor. I was told to lay totally still, but jumped off the trolly and insisted on walking up the stairs instead.
The surgeon said that he had never seen anything like it, and that it could easily have killed me, and I knew there and then that I would have to fix the problem. It`s still taken me two years to gather enough courage to deal with it.
So I`ve bought Paul`s Claustrophobia downloads, and still feeling sick from the thought of doing it, and I`ve promised myself to do it some time this week, or maybee already this evening.
At least I won`t have to do it on my own this time.
